Informations

The Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore di Siponto is an important historical and religious monument located near Manfredonia, in the province of Foggia, in the Puglia region of Italy. This basilica is renowned for its architecture that combines Romanesque and Gothic elements and for its ancient history.

The original church of Santa Maria Maggiore di Siponto was built in the early Christian period, but the current structure dates mainly from the 12th century. The basilica is known for its Romanesque style, with Gothic influences visible in parts of the building. Distinctive features include its impressive bell tower, beautiful stone decorations, and interior frescoes.

Beyond its architectural value, the basilica is significant from a historical and spiritual perspective. It has been an important religious center and a pilgrimage site for centuries. The church is located on the site of the ancient city of Siponto, a major port during the Roman period and a historical center in the Middle Ages.

In recent times, next to the historic basilica, a modern artistic structure made of iron, designed by the artist Edoardo Tresoldi, has been created. This structure represents the original dimensions of the early Christian church that once stood there. Named "Sancta Maria," it integrates with the ancient basilica, creating a fascinating blend of ancient and modern.
